You're being modded down for whining, no doubt, but I can see where you're coming from. Every dollar that goes to Theranos (or Enron, or any number of other slickly-packaged plays) is a dollar that doesn't go to someone else's company. Gotta be frustrating to watch that happen over and over when you're personally sure you're a better bet.

im not surprised of being downvoted ... i sound like a whiner no doubt. Whining that if your born rich and affluent or have strong ties to such then getting your startup funded is a ton easier.

Pardon my whining about how getting funding works for a good majority of start-uppers. Like how many Ivy Leaguers has YC funded? Is it a majority or minority amount?
